Simple Kid's Beanie

Free Pattern: Simple Kid's BeanieI saw this yarn, and I thought it was so perfect for my little granddaughter (my step-son's baby). She's just precious anyway, but I love making stuff for her. Now if I could just get my toy making skills honed.This hat will fit any kid from 6 months old, to about 3 years old. Just make it a little longer if it's for a kid over 2 years old.Bernat has lots of camo colors for girls and boys.

Cut yarn and thread through remaining stitches, pull tight. Weave in ends and enjoy!Tips:Knittingpatterncentral.com has great instructions for cast on methods and working in the round.This pattern is free for personal use only. Please do not use for profit unless all proceeds go to charity.

About Me

Yarn Choices

The majority of my projects are done using Red Heart yarns. Where I live there is only one speciality store close by, and since they're only open certain hours on certain days, I don't get to stop by much. If I want to do something nice as a present, I usually have to order what I want online.You can substitute any yarn you like, just make sure you check your gauge!!! Changing your needle size to suit will allow you to use just about any yarn you want.

My Opinion

I think patterns are not rule books, but guides to help knitters create something special for a family member, a friend, or for themselves. The patterns I have posted are a few things I've done without consulting a 'pattern'. As you can see, I like mindless knitting. If you want something with a little 'oomph', change the colors, add stripes, double strand, add an edge, your choices are endless so make it your own. Whatever you do, enjoy it! I hope you get a little inspiration from what you see, and create something special for someone you love! Who doesn't love getting a gift?! For those of you who don't like what you see, just click the little 'X' at the top of the window. You don't have to be here!
